Systems and methods for automated laser microdissection are disclosed including automatic slide detection, position detection of cutting and capture lasers, focus optimization for cutting and capture lasers, energy and duration optimization for cutting and capture lasers, inspection and second phase capture and/or ablation in a quality control station and tracking information for linking substrate carrier or output microdissected regions with input sample or slide.

Automated microdissection instrument and method for processing a biological sample

Instruments, components thereof, consumables therefor, and associated methods are generally provided. Advantageously, some instruments described herein may be capable of performing and/or configured to perform assays at a rate that is faster and/or requires less input from an operator than assays performed by other methods. Some methods may comprise performing assays at such faster rates and/or involving such reduced input.
